It's only a kiss....
In a landmark moment for Vogue Italia, the September 2017 issue featured not one, but two, pro-LBTQ covers — sealed with a kiss. New editor-in-chief Emanuele Farneti has chosen to celebrate fashion's biggest month with models locking lips. Lily Aldridge and Vittoria Ceretti on one cover, real-life couple Edoardo Velicskov and Pablo Rousson on another, and yet a third one features Maria Carla Boscono and Federico Spinas.
"A French kiss is well-known. As Cyrano de Bergerac would say, it’s a pink apostrophe between the words je t’aime. An Italian kiss, on the other hand, is an allusion. It’s a midnight kiss – “un bacio a mezzanotte” – untrustworthy by definition. (..) A kiss, alone, is a madhouse of fireworks and promises." Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, Vogue Italia, September 2017
